Review
Since its first report in 1981, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has attracted great interest among clinicians. Pediatric cases of AIDS were reported only two years later. Recently a review of the literature revealed about 300 pediatric patients with AIDS who are now tabulated separately by the Centers for Disease Control of Atlanta. The classification of the pediatric AIDS is based on epidemiologic, immunologic and virologic data. Subjects at risk include infants born to intravenous drug-addicted mothers and infants who have received blood transfusions or blood products. The diagnosis of pediatric AIDS may be established in a patient who has a polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia and T-cell immunodeficiency associated with antibody to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or isolation of retrovirus.

Review
1. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the elderly accounts for 10% of all AIDS cases; although blood transfusion is thought to be the most likely mode of transmission in the elderly, AIDS acquired through sexual contact should not be overlooked. 2. Diagnosing AIDS in the elderly is a major problem; perhaps the biggest problem in diagnosing AIDS in elders is that many clinicians fail to recognize AIDS as a possibility. 3. The nursing implications concerning AIDS in the elderly are endless. Practitioners, educators, and researchers can have a major impact in combating this problem.

Review
This article summarizes the epidemiology of AIDS and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among intravenous drug abusers (IVDAs) in the United States and discusses the status of approaches to prevent HIV infection and to treat AIDS patients. Finally, the status of research of selected community-based prevention programs, such as needle-exchange programs and programs distributing bleach to IVDAs for needle and syringe cleaning, will be reviewed.

Review
The pandemic proportions of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have already begun impacting health care in the United States. It is safe to say that in the near future nursing will have to formulate an aggressive response to this situation. This article addresses the origins of HIV and the resulting acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and discusses the impact on nursing. It also suggests ways in which nursing as a profession can respond to the epidemic of HIV and the fear which surrounds it.

Review
This paper reviews several areas of social science research that are relevant to the critical social dimensions of the AIDS crisis. These dimensions include how to effect changes in behavior so as to break the chain of transmission, how best to inform the public about risks so as to develop reasonable and nondiscriminatory policies and practices based on the best available scientific information, and how to organize health care and social services so as to treat persons with AIDS effectively, humanely, and at reasonable cost. Relevant research in the social sciences includes studies of behavioral risk modification, risk perception, communication and persuasion, attitudes toward civil liberties, and the organization of health care. This work suggests useful avenues for research on AIDS that could provide the understanding necessary to develop effective ways of approaching the problems presented by this devastating disease.
